Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Before beginning, ensure the motorcycle is on a stable surface and securely supported on a stand.

2. Remove the Wheel: Use the socket wrench to loosen and remove the wheel axle nut. Carefully take off the wheel to access the brake calipers.

3. Access the Brake Caliper: Locate the brake caliper and use a socket wrench to remove the caliper bolts. Carefully slide the caliper off the brake rotor.

4. Remove Old Brake Pads: Take note of how the old pads are installed before removing them. Use pliers if necessary to remove retaining pins or clips.

5. Compress Caliper Piston: Use a C-clamp or brake caliper tool to gently push the piston back into the caliper housing. This step is essential to make room for the new brake pads.

6. Install New Brake Pads: Place the new brake pads into the caliper bracket in the same orientation as the old pads. Ensure they fit snugly and securely.

7. Reattach the Caliper: Carefully slide the caliper back over the rotor and align it with the mounting holes. Reinstall and tighten the caliper bolts using the torque wrench to the recommended specifications.

8. Reinstall the Wheel: Place the wheel back onto the fork and secure the axle nut using the socket wrench.

9. Test the Brake: Before riding, pump the brake lever several times to seat the new pads and ensure a firm feel. Check the brake fluid level and top off if necessary.

10. Clean Up: Wipe down any excess brake cleaner and ensure that all tools are accounted for before taking the motorcycle for a test ride.

Safety First:

Always refer to the motorcycle owner's manual for specific instructions and torque specifications. If you are unsure of any steps, consider seeking help from a professional mechanic.
